Eravikulam National Park, Devikolam hotel rooms at the Independent

"Such a dreamy resort set in the forest-the most perfect setting which makes you feel like you are in paradise. The room was spacious with break-taking views, the staff were pleasant and food was top rated. The room was clean but not quite to western standards-some small touches would address this. The hotel offers a number of activities throughout the day-this is a great touch."

"Stay was great. But they have included the waterfall in the advertisement but the waterfall was not working. I have waited over 15 minutes. But otherwise, the stay was great. Staffs were professional. The food was very expensive. "

"Very beautiful and green property with a super friendly and polite staff. Good place for a weekend gateway away from city noise and pollution."

"Everything was good "

"Amazing experience..wonderful staff..so welcoming!!"

"Spa staff rushes people not able to explain well. Dining staff is good but slow and not trained well. "

"The hotel is dated. The rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment. We had booked an extra bed and was not provided a pillow. The bathroom was not clean. We were meant to stay for two nights and checked out after the first night. The breakfast is substandard. The hotel seems short staffed—when we checked out it was the bellhop that did the processing of the paperwork and not the reception staff and this was around 9am. According to their ‘proforma invoice’ we are owed a refund of Rs. 5407 which they still haven’t done. "

"Too much perfume "

"Did not use the pool...the staff are friendly. buggy service from lobby to room is good as somebody is on staff at all times. Food is terrible. just go to the nearby hotel and eat."
